CURRIED MUSSELS
This is a spicy curried dish that my English husband loves! Great as an appetizer or as a main dish. For less spicy/hot, reduce ginger and/or curry paste. Serve with your favorite crusty bread for dipping.

CURRIED MUSSELS
This delicious recipe is from my "Eve" cookbook. Eve Aronoff used to have a fabulous restaurant in Ann Arbor where we used to enjoy these mussels. We've made them several times at home. The curry cream recipe actually makes a quart, for which only 1 1/2 cups is used in this recipe. I have posted a recipe that also uses a batch of the curry cream for a torn seafood pasta. DH and I usually scale up the ingredients to make a batch and a half of curry cream, and then we enjoy both recipes.

Steps:
- For the Cream:.
- Heat oil and butter in large saucepan and saute onions, ginger, garlic and jalapenos for about 3 minutes.
- Season with spices and salt and pepper.
- Add cream, simmer to reduce until sauce thickens, but is still silky and coats the back of a spoon, about 30-40 minutes.
- Remove from heat, add sriracha, lime juice, and brown sugar and cheese.
- Adjust seasonings generously to taste.
- For the Mussels:.
- Place mussels in ice bath and stir. Discard mussels that do not close up tightly. Drain well.

Tips:
- Choose fresh mussels: Look for mussels with tightly closed shells. Avoid any mussels with open shells or cracked shells, as these may be contaminated.
- Clean the mussels properly: Scrub the mussels under cold running water to remove any dirt or debris. Use a mussel brush to remove any barnacles or other encrustations.
- Use a variety of vegetables: Feel free to add other vegetables to the curry, such as bell peppers, carrots, or celery.
- Adjust the spice level to your liking: If you don't like spicy food, you can reduce the amount of curry powder or cayenne pepper in the recipe. You can also add a bit of yogurt or coconut milk to tone down the heat.
- Serve with your favorite sides: Curried mussels can be served with a variety of sides, such as rice, quinoa, or naan bread.
